The article referenced actually says
”we show that GICs, excluding the Greenland and Antarctic peripheral GICs, lost mass at a rate of 148 ± 30 Gt yr−1 from January 2003 to December 2010, contributing 0.41 ± 0.08 mm yr−1 to sea level rise. Our results are based on a global, simultaneous inversion of monthly GRACE-derived satellite gravity fields, from which we calculate the mass change over all ice-covered regions.. ”
First thing you notice is they call it ice mass loss, they don’t specifically say melting because they aren’t measuring melting only, they are measuring total mass loss. This includes sublimation, iceburgs, melting and any other way of losing ice mass. The amount of actual melting is not determined. Get your alarmism right.
Next they say that Greenland and Antarctica lost as much as 178 billion tons of ice per year. That translates to 178 cubic km of ice loss every year. Antarctica has 30 million cubic km of ice and Greenland about 2.5 million. So out of 32 million cubic km of ice, only 178 are lost each year. That is such a relatively tiny amount I’m not convinced that it can be measured with certainty, it is insignificant.
At that rate, it will take 180,000 years to vanish completely. Thats sufficient time for 1.5 more global glaciations to occur in the meantime. I think we have lots of time.
In summary, glacial ice loss is insignificant and there is still no evidence that CO2 is the cause.
Climate change is an old man’s fear.
cheers
